Transportation: It took me over 24 hours to get here due to 2 plane mechanical failures, and the need to find 2 planes that worked! However, I arrive safely and that is the important thing!

I arrived only about ahalf hour late to Bonaire, which is amazing considering we had to deplane in Columbus, Ohio, because the weather was so bad in Chicago they wouldn't let us go. Had to wait another hour. Then plane problems in San Juan... am I EVER going to get there??? Met Cheryl and Airey though and they were great, we passed the time chatting.

Sounds like you guys are having a great time and really enjoying each other's company! Good deal!! Where's the rest of the "purple" outfit??? You aren't going to dress up Mandy or Grendel or Blikje, are you??? Oh no....NOT the kids!?? Can't wait to read more reports and hear about more adventures...if you guys have the time. We are living this week vicariously thru the Purple Hat/Diving Divas! Have fun. Carole (Shutterbug)

Cynde, Wasn't that baby green frogfish just too cute? Saw him just last Monday! Saw the big green frogfish too. He posed for my husband who ended up using a whole roll of film on him. We'll get the slides back tomorrow and see how they turned out. Oh, I am so jealous. I know I just had my turn last week, but still! Hey, if you get a chance to take a boat to Klein, there were 3 turtles at Jerry's reef. One was missing its back right foot/fin/leg. Another was buried in some soft coral as I approached unaware of its presence. It suddenly decided to bolt out of there and scared the dickens out of me because it was so close! Exciting!

Don't feel bad, you two -- puffers may look slow and ungainly, but they're really hauling! Sort of like turtles -- they put zero effort into it, and you can't keep up. We've tried to chase down a number of turtles and puffers over the years, and have never managed to do anything other than wear ourselves out completely...

Greta...I wish I could have found the frogfish for kelly...as for how "cute" the little one was...It just looked like a smigin of green coral to me...never could figure out the shape. If Martin hand't told me it was a frog fish, I would have never known!

If you chase that big puffer around a bit he may just come over for a good look

Hi Cynde & Kelly!

Cynde, Once you figure out what you're looking at when observing a frogfish, there's no turning back. I've seen several. However, that little green guy/gal was the cutest one of all. Just a baby and so clean. He/She had no rubble on its body as a disguise. I could see its webbed feet and everything so clearly! Just awesome! The big green one was pretty, too, and one of the most easily detected larger frogfish I've seen. If you have time, try to find them again and observe for awhile so you'll know what you're looking at and what to look for in the future. You never know, it might turn into a love affair!
